Monastir is one of the best tourist destinations in Northern Africa. Set along a superb coastline with a blue sea and long golden sandy beaches, it is a pleasant seaside resort as well as historical town full of traditions. Monastir, under the protection of its “ribat”, is one of the most impressive fortresses of Tunisia. Its medina, its fishing port, its marina and its background of villages and orchards make it a lively and welcoming destination.
